Holiday Season 2022
Production Overview
Over the course of the next 10 months, award-winning Director/Producer Keith Famie
and the crew from Visionalist Entertainment Productions will embark on a historical
journey back in time, through interviews with leading clergy and historians, they will
document the significance the many Detroit churches and houses of worship played onsome of the most iconic moments in Detroit’s history.
Starting with Detroit’s early years of settlement, its role in the underground railroad and its citizens whose boots stepped on multiple battlefields through our nation’s history, we will continue to weave our story through the automotive boom, civil rights, the birth of Motown and its major sporting championships in order to see how Detroit’s spiritual leaders, their places of worship and their congregations helped guide the city as we know it today. Our film, Detroit: The City of Churches, will become a must-see for many generations to come.
The final two-hour film will debut on Detroit Public Television as a Christmas special for 2022. This inspirational, historic story will premiere at one of Detroit’s most iconic historical theaters while bringing together, under one roof, its spiritual leaders, their congregations, community leaders and media all in the celebration of the rich diversity that Detroit has become known for worldwide.
As a part of this production, there will be a book following the stories that are documented along the way.
